I'm sorry if this is percieved as ranting but I just wanted to warn people off of this "guide" from Versus. I basically bought it for the item list and the "discussions" on NPC strategy and the new special class abilities. Man o man what a waste of time and money! Granted, I haven't read the walk-through (I don't want to be spoiled, and yes, I have that kind of self control...) so I can't comment on the quality of that section of the guide, but the rest is nothing to get excited about.
Basically, if you read the strategy sections of the guide the author(s) have something bad to say about almost any given NPC/special ability and nothing constructive or creative about the use of either NPCS or Spec Abilities...These guys strike me as the epitome of the whining power gamer. They seem oblivious to almost all of the great strategies that the ppl here and on the SoA board have come up with regarding these elements of the game. I guess what I'm saying is just to get your tips on strategy from the folks here on this board, the "guide" IS NOT worth the $20 Cnd that I paid for it...did the authors even play the game?
This is not a personal attack on the authors themselves, just a criticism of the book they put out...any other comments?
